THE PATH TO BLISSFUL CONTENTMENT AND OUR SERENE SANCTUARY WITHIN “Practice meditation— You will find that you are Carrying within your heart A portable paradise!” —Yogananda With each breath that we take An inner doorway opens To our own peaceful And serene sanctuary within. By simply watching the Gentle waves of breath Coming and going In and out of our own body, The mind grows still and peaceful, And the path to blissful contentment Begins appearing all around us In the silence behind closed eyes. We carry this heaven With us wherever we go, Whatever we do Without realizing it— Yet it is already ours, Always waiting, ever ready In this very present nowness, Revealed as we meditate lovingly— One breath, one moment— Riding the waves of breath gently, Sustaining our life and beating heart Serenity and solace our ever Ready always welcoming refuge. With every breath we take An inner doorway opens To our own peaceful And serene sanctuary within. This is the sure and simple path— Bring the body to stillness and silence, Letting go of outer concerns, stress and strain And ride the breath to freedom and joy.
